bpwallace49 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Thank you...and way to put yourself out there with a bold prediction. Oh wait you never have one. Instead of riding my coat-tails and posting Twitter League chives, it would be nice to hear something substantial. No? I get it... I totally agree. So does Charlie Sheen, Deion Sanders and Mary Poppins. However, Harry Carey, the green Lantern, Tom Sizemore and Arian Foster agree with me and think you are full of yerself and your ability to "read" tweets. But we will see with my poll on twitter will turn up. Stay tuned . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrab Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) Anyone have the lowdown on the Colt signings, other than Chesteiluiuliuis? I'm not one of those who thinks teams have to or even necessarily should make a big splash in the FA market, just don't know much about em. Any homers of former teams know? TIA Try the FA tracker I posted yesterday http://espn.go.com/n...reeagency/index and select your team. That shows both sides (Colts who are FA and signings by the Colts). The ESPN FA tracker doesn't provide a lot of info on the player, unless you are an ESPN insider. But they do have a grade which should give you an idea of the quality of the player.

BeeR Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 The ESPN FA tracker doesn't provide a lot of info on the player, unless you are an ESPN insider. Yeah that's why I'm asking here. Thx saw that, but as you say, it doesn't tell you much. I was hoping for more stuff like "he's got a good motor but injury prone" or "good vs the pass but getting old" or "lot of upside but a head case" - stuff like that. On another angle, how are FAs impacting team's drafts? With the Colts it means nuts to OT, now they hope for a top OG to fall - if not, they should do DL, IMO. Don't know why so many think they should go CB. It's a need, but not as bad as the DL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the same way the rest of us find out about players we've never heard of before.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorttynaz Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) Chargers need to jump into this fight as well. Chargers like most other teams sitting back (Packers, Patriots, Saints, etc.) are waiting for the overhyped, overpaid players are out of the way. Teams are essentially paying above full price for these players yesterday, today, and probably tomorrow - but wait - this weekend, teams like the Patriots and Saints will then step in and start filling holes on quality players for discounted rates.. I'll admit, as a Colts fan I wanna see them make a big splash for a big name FA, but at the same time I want them to be smart about it and not just go name shopping - kind of like the Dolphins are doing.

CaptainHook Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 An interesting point in today's paper, Grigson was on the staff with the Eagles that signed the "Dream Team". How'd that work out? He said he was more interested in getting quality players than big names. We'll see how it works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeR Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) Chiefs sign Donnie Avery...interesting Can't imagine why frankly. Avery might still be able to stretch the field a little, but he is not at all a reliable target. That said, Colts are again in need here since Collie makes Fred Taylor look tough and there's little past Wayne (who is freakin old) and Hilton. I wonder if any FA WR is worth a look for a modest price? Edited March 13, 2013 by BeeR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is they will wait and address it next week in the secondary market and/or the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 if the Rams sign Jake Long, their starting LT Roger Saffold will likely ask to be traded if they move to him to RT. He is in a contract year and RT's make HALF of what LT fetch. Risky move if they do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazinib1 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel confirms there's a "good chance" the Packers would ask Finley to take a pay cut or release him if they re-signed Jennings. Finley is nervous because NFL cap money is being spent left and right, and his market could be weak if he didn't hit free agency for another week, or maybe more. The Packers don't owe Finley a dime until his March 27 $3 million roster bonus. source - The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinal Interesting stuff right there.

BeeR Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) Didn't see this - did you miss Bush signing by DET? PS re Finley, IMO that should be an easy cut. Speaking of unreliable. Edited March 13, 2013 by BeeR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
